Some people are rather mistaken about socialism.
They think it is synonymous with communism.
WRONG!
The USA is already a socialist country.
Yup!
We've had elements of socialism for a long time.
Why do you think they call it 'Social Security?'
What is a “commune” if not the “collective?” What is the collective if not ‘commune-ism?” What is “communism” if not the “collective?” What is “socialism” if not all of the above?
Government by definition is socialism. Government is the collective a commune a socialist combine.
Our nation’s founders had littl trust in the collective, the commune, the socialist mob. They had little trust in the power of government and that’s exactly why they created our Constitutional Republic, with its conservative limited central government and its liberal constitutional Bill Of Rights. The only democratic institution they created was the democratic right of the people to choose by ballot their representation, representatives SWORN by oath, not to the wills and whims of the people, but rather SWORN to the preservation, protection defense of the nation’s Constitution. READ IT AND BE ENLIGHTENED!
The sole purpose of the central government is simply to protect the citizens from enemies domestic and foreign and to do “ONLY” those things that the states and or the people could not do for themselves. There’s no “SOCIAL” or corporate welfare state authorized by the Constitution as a power of the central government. Our Constitution only authorizes such powers to the states and or the people!
And the other myth is they think 'If socialism ever gets started it will grow like weeds until it chokes capitalism out.'
The growth of America’s central government’s socialism is well documented throughout the decades from FDR’s New Deal to AOC’s and the Democrat neo-communist New Green Deal and everything in between. Public education, HUD, food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid and hundreds of socialist handouts, ALL authorized constitutional powers of the states and or the people. 22 trillion $’s of national debt and rising by the minute. Chains around the necks of every future American. What’s to stop it now that the constitutional violations have become the norm? How do we stop the promises of the politicians who offer up more and more “SOCIALISM” election after election? We’re a national BRIBERY SYSTEM!
Ever hear that one?
Its BS.
The fact that we have had socialism for so long and capitalism is still very much alive and well disproves that.
We can and should have a combination of both capitalism AND socialism.
In the right measure.
To be determined by all of us.
Right there is your failure, your idiocy! There’s no such thing as “all of us.” Some of us, “the few” understand the pure fact that total agreement can only be found in the heavens and never among humankind. The few of us understand that the “most perfect union” is governed and controlled by a steadfast loyalty to our Constitution and never the uninformed, ignorant bribed masses.
Here are the things that make sense to me to have socialist programs for:

You see, the trouble with Liberty is it requires personal responsibility.
The trouble with Socialism is it needs victims to supply its feast for power.
The trouble with Capitalism it only needs creators and customers to build a more perfect union, but where there’s Socialism there’s little to no Liberty and creators and customers need to be FREE.
